| Hey There, I completely understand what you mean! So many products these days advertise with such 'hype' - only to disappoint us consumers. I never understood how the trimmer could 'figure out' where the quik was anyway. Best way is trim a little @ a time and then check the nail. Problem with that ----I was lucky to get 'one' snip in on each nail (when using the manual clippers). Most puppy dogs do not want you snipping more than once on each toe nail anyway. Recently, I bought a magnetized stick on LED lamp which was suppose to illuminate shadowy spots on your grooming table. Didn't work worth a darn. Might as well taped a flashlight onto my grooming bar with duct tape! Probably would of done a better job and been cheaper too. We live and learn! lol |

| We have a 'qiuckfinder' set of clippers and it doesn't work very well. I'm thinking of getting the dremel tool and just being careful with the hair. |

| Dremel link How to Dremel Dog Nails @ DoberDawn.com The above link is a very good instruction page on using the dremel tool on your furbabies nails. About the best I've seen and has pictures for viewing as well. (guess you'll have to cut and paste the link into your browser) The dremel in the picture looks like the rechargeable cordless. I recommend the electric variety. The only advantage of the rechargeable cordless dremel, it will shut off if hair becomes entangled in the sanding drum. Battery varieties do not have the power of the elect., plus battery life is short lived. You need two batteries if you go the rechargeable route. Extra or replacement batteries cost almost as much as a new dremel. That's why I went with the elect. The elect. you have to shut it off should you get hair entangled in the appliance. You have to really be on guard using the elect. for this reason. A dog could jerk or move suddenly, placing long hair in harms way. It just takes practice and getting used to. Once you do, its a piece of cake. And remember to run the elect. on the lower speeds. |
